Ferne told BANG Showbiz: ‘Obviously, the jungle is where we met. I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here Now! would be the dream job.

‘I think me and Vick have great banter. She’s very quick and witty and I’m not but I bring the lols and the bants.’

Now they’re on the hunt for more ‘credible’ names, according to The Sun, meaning the likes of rumoured contestants like Geordie Shore’s Sophia Kasaei and TOWIE’s Jessica Wright could be in for disappointment.

The decision to cut back on reality TV alumni also follows previous contestants complaining that stars of reality TV shows have an ‘unfair advantage’ as they are used to cameras filming them 24/7, unlike ‘real’ celebs like actors, musicians or politicians.

‘This year I’m A Celeb wants to go back to its roots by signing up more cult favourites from the past and current, newsworthy personnel,’ a source told The Sun.

‘The last series got a ribbing for having so many reality show stars and giving them lots of camera time.

‘Despite them providing most entertainment, bosses are keen to lure more credible campmates.’

A rep for the show has been contacted for comment.

The new series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off in November.
